Some Studies of the Reactions of Uranium Oxides with Hydrogen, Oxygen and Water

Description: Abstract: The purpose of this research was to obtain data that would be useful in predicting changes that might be expected to occur in the oxidation state and degree of hydration of powdered uranium oxides maintained for long periods of time at temperatures between 30 and 300 degrees C. in the presence of excess water, hydrogen, oxygen and possibly hydrogen peroxide. The reaction of hydrogen and oxygen with water slurries of U3O8 were studied at 100-300 degree C.

A Thermal Type Flow Meter for Low Flow Rates of Anhydrous Hydrofluoric Acid

Description: Report discussing a thermal type flow meter which was adapted for metering anydrous hydrofluoric acid at low flow rates. Corrosive gases, which are not appropriate for handling in standard type rotameters or orifice meters, are also suitable for this thermal type flow meter.

A correlation of loadings and afterbody length-beam ratios of various flying-boat hulls

Description: "The gross weight, beam, and afterbody length of 12 contemporary flying boats and amphibians with pointed afterbodies are tabulated and correlated. For most of the hulls considered, the afterbody length-beam ratios are shown to be directly proportion to the gross-load coefficients" (p. 1).

Aerodynamics of the carburetor air scoop and the engine cowling of a single-engine torpedo-bomber-type airplane

Description: From Introduction: "An investigation of the power-plant installation of a single-engine torpedo-bomber-type airplane has been conducted in the NACA Cleveland altitude wind tunnel at the request of the Bureau of Aeronautics, Navy Department. A similar investigation was previously conducted on a three-tenths scale mock-up of the forward portion of the fuselage of this airplane in the Langley 20-foot tunnel. (See reference 1)."

Stresses in and general instability of monocoque cylinders with cutouts 2: calculation of the stresses in a cylinder with a symmetric cutout

Description: A numerical procedure is presented for the calculation of the stresses in a monocoque cylinder with a cutout. In the procedure the structure is broken up into a great many units; the forces in these units corresponding to specified distortions of the units are calculated; a set of linear equations is established expressing the equilibrium conditions of the units in the distorted state; and the simultaneous linear equations are solved. A fully worked out numerical example, corresponding to the a… more

Stresses in and general instability of monocoque cylinders with cutouts 1: experimental investigation of cylinders with a symmetric cutout subjected to pure bending

Description: "Ten 24S-T alclad cylinders of 20-inch diameter, 45- or 58-inch length, and 0.012-inch wall thickness, reinforced with 24S-T aluminum alloy stringers and rings were tested in pure bending. In the middle of the compression side of the cylinders there was a cutout extending over 19 inches in the longitudinal direction, and over an angle of 45 degrees, 90 degrees, or 135 degrees in the circumferential direction. The strain in the stringers and in the sheet covering was measured with metal electric… more

Performance tests of wire strain gages 4: axial and transverse sensitivities

Description: Report presenting the results of calibrations to determine axial and transverse strain sensitivities for 15 types of single-element, multistrand wire strain gages. The gages were separated into those which had positive average ratios of transverse sensitivity and those which had negative transverse sensitivity.

Comparative Effectiveness of a Convection Type and a Radiation-Type Cooling Cap on a Turbosupercharger

Description: Note presenting an investigation to compare the effectiveness of two basic methods of cooling a turbosupercharger and to obtain data on the temperature level and distribution in the turbine wheel. Turbine-wheel temperatures were obtained for various conditions of cooling-air mass flow, exhaust-gas temperature, and exhaust-gas mass flow. Modified forms of the standard cooling caps were used to allow for the installation of temperature-measuring devices.

Stalling of Helicopter Blades

Description: Report presenting an investigation to determine whether stall will occur at certain combinations of thrust, forward speed, and rotational speed, and to establish the amount of stalling that could be present without severe control effects. Results regarding the stall, practical limits of stall, extent of agreement of experimental and theoretical data, and areas for future study are provided.

The effect of simulated icing on propeller performance

Description: Testing of a 10-foot-diameter three-blade Curtiss 89301-15 propeller with Clark Y blade sections was conducted in the 16-foot high-speed tunnel to determine the effect of simulated ice on the aerodynamic characteristics of the propeller. The propellers were tested on a 2000-horsepower dynamometer at rotational speed 1800 rpm at several blade angles and airspeeds. Results regarding the effect of icing and constant-power propeller operation are provided.

Langley full-scale-tunnel investigation of the fuselage boundary layer on a typical fighter airplane with a single liquid-cooled engine

Description: Report presenting an investigation in the full-scale tunnel to determine the thickness and shape of profile of the boundary layer on the fuselage of a typical monoplane fighter airplane with a single liquid-cooled engine. The results indicate that the maximum displacement thickness was nearly 1.2 inches and was at the most rearward station.
